JOTD

A traveling salesman goes to a farmhouse.

The farmer goes, "I can put you up for one night, but you'll have to stay in the barn." So he spends the night there.

The next morning the farmer comes in, he goes, "Were you comfortable?"

He goes, "I had a great time. I talked to all the animals."

He goes, "You talked to the animals?"

He goes, "Yeah. I spoke to the chickens. They say you collect the eggs every morning exactly at five minutes after six."

He goes, "That's exactly right."

He says, "The horse told me his names is Otis. You've owned him for ten years."

He goes, "That's incredible."

He goes, "I spoke to the cow. The cow says that her name is Elsie, and you milk her every morning at exactly 8:30."

And he goes, "That's incredible"

And he goes, "And then I spoke to the sheep."

And the farmer goes, "Oh yeah? What did those lying bastards have to say?”
